The car crashed while being driven by a person.

Nothing to see here - move along please.

Maybe the cultured brain is named "Dimwit".

Not sure what interface it is using to post its memory on /. though.

This seems similar to watching poker on TV where the viewer knows what cards all the players are holding. There is still suspense with regards to the flop (and turn/river) and whether the betting/bluffing strategies will work.

From the article: "If Gamera makes it off the ground, the team has the potential to capture a world record for human-powered helicopter flight with a female pilot on board."

So the record they are going after purely based on the sex of the pilot? That's weak.

And the iPad (G1) and iPod Touch are neither vintage prototypes nor failures.

Having actually read TFA, it didn't make any mention of why video arcade games were excluded from the contest.
I still remember being so excited when Pac-Man was announced for the Atari 2600, and so utterly disappointed at the graphics and game-play when I actually popped in the cartridge for the first time.

This is especially head scratching since they are including a Pac Man arcade console as one of the playable games at the exhibition.

I can see people buying this as a gag gift.

Guarantee? That's a strong statement. My 10 year old son knows the difference between his iPod Touch and my HTC Android phone.

I was about to make the same point.
It seems like there was something controlling the timeline marker that was independent of everything else going on.

Do you have any job openings at your company?
I'm feeling a bit too happy in general, and am looking to add some misery back to my life.

"I don't know, I can imagine quite a bit."

That guy looks and sounds like the biggest douche in the world. He claims credit for the term Web 3.0.

Well, I would like to officially coin the following terms:

- Web 4.0 ©
- Web 5.0 ©
- Web 6.0 ©
- Web n.0 ©

Enders Game to anybody else? Maybe DARPA is just telling us that this is a simulation

That reminds me of the Jerry Seinfeld skit (or maybe it was in Seinfeld, the show) where he talks about not knowing what to do with his hands if he were on a nude beach. I think he came about with the idea of just wearing a belt with pockets attached to it so he could at least put his hands somewhere.

So then you don't actually work from your house. You just drive from your house to the hospital, instead of driving from an office to the hospital.
